	Read from file until end-of-file or a line feed is encountered.

	Returns -1 on failure, +1 if end of file was reached,
	0 if data was read successfully.

	The following transformations are applied:
	 - Space characters are replaced with regular white space characters.
	 - Sequences of space characters are truncated to a single space.
	 - A '#' sign is interpreted as the start of a comment and removed,
	   together with everything that follows.
	 - Padding spaces are removed from the line.
	 - If a '"' is encounterd, the above rules are disabled, until a
	   after the matching '"' is read. A '"' can be escaped by preceeding
	   it with a backslash.
	 - If a second, coresponding '"' is not found, processing fails.
	 - If a '%' character is encountered, the next character is expected
	   to be a single digit index into argv. If it is not a digit or
	   outside the bounds set by argc, processing fails. On success,
	   the argv value is inserted and processed as described above.
	 - A '%' character can be escaped by writing '%%' or, if inside
	   a double quite string, by writing \%.
	 - An attempt to use such an indexed argument inside an argument
	   expansion, results in failure.
	 - If the resulting line is empty, processing is restarted.
